Took my ktm for a fucking RIP today, got lapped by yamahas every race. As I launched off of a jump, getting a massive 5 feet of air, I could feel the rush of energy through my body knowing that my riding level is unmatched. As I landed perfectly, I could feel my triple clamps snap as well as my motor tearing itself apart from inside, I realized that no other company uses the highest quality parts like ktm does, and laughed at the yamaha riders face as he lapped me for the 3rd time. So much soul and passion flowed between my ktm and me that it irrupted into flames and burned to the ground
Gavin Watson
Nice user, ride those corners harder than I did WR's mum last nite.
Cameron Carter

Adrian Martinez

Asher Jenkins
Honda makes pretty ok cruisers
Ryan Carter

Xavier Wilson

Kevin Walker
post assless chaps fagboi
Jayden King

Adam Scott
I don't use those. Sorry to disappoint, friend
Adrian Sullivan
>direct injection two strokes FUCKING WHEN?
Won't need either of those things with DI.
Thomas Jackson
should i buy the tunafish memebike?
Jose Moore

Gabriel Morales
I had an opportunity today to test ride the new 2018 Yamaha FZ-09 and R6 and I must say that these two bikes are some of the biggest pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of sitting on.
R6: this is a complete race bike through and through. I am not new to 600s but I have never seen or felt anything like this before. The throttle throw is retarded and the bike literally idles at 2k-2.5k RPM. It's hard to even just pussy foot around the parking lot without having to rev it up to 10k to actually feel anything. God damn. This might be good for the track but fuck is this useless in the real world.
FZ-09: This is a fast fucking bike but there is something wrong with the throttle. I don't know what exactly but it's a combination of too much play and a weird snatchyness to it that makes it unpredictable/not very linear. Comfortable as hell though.
Fuck both of these bikes. Suzuki is the best
Grayson Jackson
yes but that's an older model
Chase Thompson
Do it faggit.
Nolan Sanchez
Just hope my tires last the weekend(I know they won't...)
Nathan Wright
>tunafish
If anityhing it looks more like a birdo.
Jeremiah Sullivan
It's an Aprilia, you will be happy you did.
Jason Barnes
im not gonna buy a new bike duh.
the 2012 one is available for fair prices and has the V4.
Christopher Bell
what track?
Jaxon Jones
You keep posting a bike you never ride.
Connor Morgan
But that extra 79cc!
Nathan Collins
I just fixed another hole in my tank bag with a needle and thread. If only I could fill the hole in my heart
Dylan Richardson
I think im gonna leave it in street-mode for a while anyways, seriously almost 170 hp and no electronics whatsoever sounds scare af.
Christian Bailey
It will only mostly kill you...
Bentley Harris
Apparently I look a lot like you according to Cc and wombat
Gavin Foster
For the FZ, did you even change the rider modes? A mode has bad snatchyness to the throttle but STD and B are smooth for me.
t. 2017 FZ cuck
Colton Lopez
Don't they have APRC on them? >eight-level traction control, Aprilia Quick Shifter, three-way-adjustable wheelie control, and launch control.
Caleb Adams
The early Tuono V4 did not come standard with APRC.
Jaxon Moore
The APRC model has a full suite of electronics.
Grayson Long
Fuck no, thats only stuff that breaks.
Jonathan Long
wut?
Christian Edwards
Never heard of any of that stuff breaking...
Jordan Jones
Don't buy any exotic then.
Oliver Stewart
Yeah, but is your life one big shitpost?
Zachary Russell
Aren't we all just one big shitpost in the end?
William Hill
>FZ-09: This is a fast fucking bike but there is something wrong with the throttle.
They are DBW but Yamaha still has a throttle cable and the pot sensor is down by the motor. Shitty throttle on the bike you rode was a setup issue, the tech at the dealer that put it together didn't bother taking the play out.
Angel Jones
it is a widely known fact that the FZ-09 has shitty fuelling, can't imagine that is due to dealers not putting them together properly.
Parker Gray
First gens had shitty fueling and that was only 2014 and early 2015 models. They offered to flash ECUs and 2016 were fine. Delete this dumb meme.
Asher Allen
Ejection seats on street bikes when?
Mason Hughes
>adding weight to a bike ever
Carter Mitchell
Plenty of riders and journalists reported that while better, the fuelling was still subpar on newer models. Yamaha can't meet emissions targets without running the engine overly lean, just like on the R1.
Brayden Cox
thanks yurop
Oliver White
>get launched into an apartment building at literally 1000 mph
Dylan Diaz
Its incredible how pretty the 2006/7 600 Gsxr are.
Funny that only that years CBR and r6 look equally cool, but later generations always failed. Especially with gixxer.
Camden Robinson
U ok? They're ugly piles of shit
Leo Johnson
Yes they are ugly but they were still the best those two ever looked. Think of it like a polished turd.
Evan Morgan
>170hp >scary wew lad
Joseph Gomez
>yeah i put a lot of work into it so it's worth more no, i don't care that you put a third party seat on it, im more concerned that it has mismatched rear shocks you great div
Owen Green
... so you say no amount of HP on any bike is ever scary or what? Because even the strongest bikes barely push 200 which is only 15% more.
Samuel Cruz
Even the tuono can push more than 170 with just an ECU flash
Zachary Perry
>The strongest bikes pull 200hp barely Are you dumb?
Parker Nguyen
Recently got my full licence after 6 months on small a 125 learner (cg125 clone)
Looking at a mid sized bike now, the CB400 and the similar bikes seem like a good mixture of power and size. I live in a cramped city which my 125 has been great for, so don't want a "full" sized bike. but at the same time fuck 11hp,
The 400cc 4cyl bikes make around 50hp, and seem pretty cool with their high revs.
How much is reasonable to spend on a 2nd bike? i'm looking for one that's mechanically sound but already scratched so i'm not scared of dropping it. I have a week off work coming off and want to go on a road trip with the new bike
Ayden Morales
not counting prototypes or barely usable "weirdos"?
Yes the current limit for a mass produced, affordable bike is about 200 hp.
Joshua Young
67nd for what happened to KitKat?
Isaac Young
Big Fat Hondacuck
Noah Price
That's like satlying a Toyota Corolla is scary because it's the fastest car thats not an oddball car designed to go fast
Christian Bailey
he is larping as a harley owning trucker these days
Julian King
no... no its not like that at all.
Jack Foster
There are bikes that make over 500hp nigger. It's exactly like that
Henry Collins
Fucking hell, you almost got me their.
Ethan Taylor
And there are cars that make over 10,000 that does not make it the norm.
Caleb Brooks
Show me a mass produced bike that makes 500 horsepower you dumb cunt.
Henry Cook
jesus christ fuck off you are retarded.
Caleb Howard
It depends on the enviroment, on a large and free track a 200hp bike isn't that scary, on tight as fuck togay even a 500cc can get you around corners at scary speeds.
Luke Moore
Alright boys world's ending what's gonna be the best bike to ride out the apocalypse. I'm thinking a gold wing because comfy.
Sebastian Green
Hopefully he crashed
Jace Campbell
What does /dbt/ think about slavbikes?
Grayson Bennett
Reasonable is what you can afford. We dont know your financial situation.
Jacob Adams
...
Caleb Ramirez
...
Logan Reyes
Careful bro ur bikes gonna fall into space.
Justin Diaz
im talking "not even ABS" here. Yes a modern R1 is probably pretty chill to ride but i heard stories about the earlier EFI ones being the most pants-shitting experiences ever.
Early V4 Tuono meanwhile... popping wheelies seems to be just the standard way they tend to accelerate.
Tyler Morris
Why the fuck are you buying an Aprilia if you don't plan to hoon it The 4 th gear powerwheelies are intended It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Christian Brooks
Look decent but dunno where to get them in the UK.
Landon Cooper
Not as aesthetic as itabikes
Nathaniel Turner
Buying a Versys-x today. What should I do with my old Supercub clone?
Hunter Morgan
huh, somehow i was under the impression the H2 gets the same showa fork as the ZX10R.
Jack Watson
you think im complaining? I just dont intend to die coming from a 110HP bike.
Ethan Richardson
Are you still playing flavor of the month Brit tanks?
Christopher Cox
Is this worth restoring or is it a shitbike. I know literally nothing about cycles
Caleb James
Need my chieftain mk 10 nigga.
Gabriel Nguyen
those bikes are very basic top restore, and can be sold to hipsters easily as cafe racer projects
Juan Morales
>triumph 100% shitbike, but you might find some hipster who wants one bad
Oliver Reed
And there are no scary cars that are stock Unless you're autistic which I'm thinking you might be
